⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 — U.S. strategic reserves for Patriot and THAAD interceptors fell below 50% capacity during February–April combat operations, with Tomahawk cruise missile stocks depleted by 33% amid three-year industrial replenishment projections — N12 citing CSIS, NYT, and Washington Post.

➡️ Technical assessments indicate the expenditure of 1,200+ Patriot missiles (unit cost $4M) from a 2,330-unit inventory and 240 THAAD interceptors from a 360-unit stockpile; Tomahawk launches exceeded 1,000 units, surpassing annual procurement rates tenfold. General Dan Kaine briefed President Trump on "ammunition stockpile" risks, citing concerns that depletion levels from the Iran conflict impact readiness for a "future campaign with China or another enemy."

➡️ Israeli operational reports identify a "strategic failure" in inventory planning, resulting in the mandatory management of interceptors and a deliberate decision to bypass cluster missile threats to preserve armament.

​Deep-seated corruption exists not only within the prosecutor's office, but across the entire International Criminal Court (ICC).

​I spoke with Secretary of State Marco Rubio last night, and he reaffirmed the United States' intention to act firmly against this organization.

​The ICC endangers global justice and threatens the right of sovereign, democratic nations to exercise their sovereignty and defend their security against corrupt decisions in The Hague.

⚡️🇮🇷🇺🇸🇬🇧🇧🇬🇺🇦 — Nikzad, Deputy Speaker of the Parliament during his speech:

«The criminal America is trapped in a quagmire. We must reiterate that the regulations governing the Strait of Hormuz will not return to the conditions before the war. We also advise the deluded American president to remove this cotton from his ear and leave the region, which has been the home of our people and our ancestors for thousands of years, before he experiences an even heavier defeat than the previous one.

Over the years, we have endured the obstructionist actions of European governments. We warn these governments, especially the new government of England, the parliament and government of Bulgaria, and the government of Ukraine, not to become pawns in the hands of America and to refrain from engaging in adventures that do not concern them.

The Islamic Republic of Iran will always exercise its legal right to defend its territorial integrity. Any point from which an attack on our country and our soil originates will undoubtedly be a legitimate target for our armed forces, and the reckless actions of the Ukrainian government will not go unpunished. By the grace and promise of God, and according to established historical precedent, the victory of the great Iranian nation is near.»
